SIN CITY FOOTAGE

[eric3dee]

Wow. Just, wow. Racy content (as to be expected), but still- wow.

[bRyaN2003]

DAmn dudes....i saw like 5 sec before my computer crashed at work, does anyone have it saved up or something...

It was lookin sweet as helll...

[SheepFactory]

dammit they removed the clip :\


can someone mirror it?

[SGT.Squeaks]

NOOOOO!!! my world has just come crumbling down. :( if someone has it, please put it up. I would give my future presidency to see this.

[hypercube]

I have the QT saved from last night, but I don't have the bandwidth to burn mirroring it..if anyone does and would like to, let me know and I'll get it to you.

Very interesting stuff..not sure how the flow will be once it's edited, but it's definitely something different.

[SUB7NYC]

That footage is amazing. Miller co directing, wow!

[bRyaN2003]

Absoluteyl fantastic...

if you don't mind keepin it up till the end of the day that would be awesome i would like to save it at home...

[JulianHo]

OMG. The art direction looks amazing. :bounce:

[DavidBaca3D]

awsome, we are in a new age for sure, it seems alot of movies are goin for lots o blue screen to make some really different type of shots. it really works for this movie, i cant believe they go that many awsome actors into one movie.

[leigh]

Hmm maybe a little too noir for my personal tastes, but it's definitely done very nicely :) Good cast too.

[Dreckins]

Something is wrong.
The visuals were actually hotter than Jessica Alba.

Insanely Beautiful work.

I heard they shot several digital sequences in Austin. sweet.
Anyone know any of the post production credits?

[barpoet]

Smooth very smooth,

Cooler than a frog in a frozen pool
Cooler than the end of and eskimoes tool

Me lika very much long time

[Fasty]

Yeesh my first reaction was that it looks like a try-hard student film. What's with the "here's the drawing, now here's how poorly we translate that drawing to film"?

[FloydBishop]

Very nice. I've not read "Sin City" and I know nothing about story, characters, etc. The art to film looks pretty cool, if a bit heavy handed.

[KingMob]

this was what they showed at comic con, thusly the panel to film/some of the random lines are there for us sin city fans to appreciate, I am sure a mass audience trailer will hit soon as well.

I think it looks great, but I love the source material to.

[SOPLAND]

Well.... this is either going to be really cool or extremely corny. This trailer is leaning heavily towards corny. This is coming from someone who's been a Frank Miller fan since he was a kid and respects Robert Rodriguez very much. I don't like the fact that it looks like they are condensing several stories down into one film. They should have picked just one story and went with it.

For anyone who hasn't read the books, they are deffinitely entertaining and worth picking up, don't let this trailer scare you off :)

[jackburton]

It was all shot in Austin:thumbsup:

[dtaznpride]

jessica alba is hot hot hot hot hot O_o

[darktding]

I love the look of the film. Little experimental with the colors and gives a new meaning to composition when u add certain colors pruposefully in a b&w. Cant wait to see it....

Getting my hopes up and dashing them!

On the other hand, I should really look at the original post date. :(

Shame on whoever necromancered this!

I feel stupid.

[leigh]

Hehe when I posted that comment I knew I would be working on it... hehehe. I still don't like this particular piece all that much :)

The rest of the film... is looking pretty damn badass!

Your working on Sin City Leigh???

[doggpound]

Very impressive indeed.

Quoted from IMDb's Sin Sity trivia page (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0401792/trivia):

After a poor Hollywood experience in the early-'90s, Frank Miller (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0588340/) refused to relinquish the movie rights to any of his comic works, "Sin City" in particular. Robert Rodriguez (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001675/), a longtime fan of the comic, filmed his own "audition" for the director's spot in secret. The footage, shot in early 2004, featured Josh Hartnett (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001326/) and Marley Shelton (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005420/) acting out the "Sin City" short-story "The Customer is Always Right". He presented the finished footage to Miller with the proclamation: "If you like this, this will be the opening to the movie. If not, you'll have your own short film to show your friends." Miller approved of the footage and the film was underway. Rodriguez also screened the footage for each of the actors he wanted to cast in the film - all of whom are reported to have been instantly amazed.

That's why that segment might be a little more stylized than the rest, and why it may feel a little different....

Pretty cool :) I love that music!

[Virum]

Visual Orgasm.

Awesome.

Leigh, you made my life. :(

here's a direct-link to that new footage that Leigh posted a link to, for your downloading pleasure.

http://progressive.stream.aol.com/aol/us/moviefone/movies/2005/sincity_019736/sincity_trlr_02_dl.mov

enjoy!

[Q_B]

That YELLOW bastard!

Looks great, the original stuff is really good, diferent and very well conceived.
By the looks of it, seems it's been brought up in the same spirit as the original, and that can only end up in a major piece of art!

[Dead]

oh look, they made a "Max Payne" movie

Absolute spitting image of the game

and yes I know they probably rip that style from somewhere else themselves.

[RobertoOrtiz]

Actually you got it backwards.


The movie is based on a series of graphic novels by a man called Frank Miller pusblished in the 90's (and they are based on Film noir movies of the 30's and 40's).

The style of the movie is exactly like the one on the books.

-R

[chadtheartist]

Uh, dude. You do realize that Frank Miller illustrated the Sin City comics long before there was a Max Payne video game right?

The style in the movie is exactly like that of Frank Miller's comics. If anything, Max Payne ripped off Frank Miller.

Frank Miller's Sin City Series (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/index%3Dstripbooks%26field-keywords%3Dfrank%20miller%20sin%20city%26results-process%3Ddefault%26dispatch%3Dsearch/ref%3Dpd%5Fsl%5Faw%5Ftops-1%5Fstripbooks%5F5304497%5F1/002-7934478-7498458)

Max Payne Video Game (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-form/002-7934478-7498458)

[balistic]

Visually I think it's awesome. The only concern I have is the dialogue . . . that kind of over the top pulp prose works when read, but I'm not totally convinced it isn't going to seem cheesy when it's actually spoken . . . still quite stoked for the movie. I hope I'm wrong.

I'd love to see a similar adaptation of Miller's "300" miniseries about the Spartans battling the Persians . . . I think it was some of his better work.

[levin]

wow that was something... can't wait to see it on the screens; i guess the trend nowadays is going more "visual" (after seeing the scanner darkly trailer) ... i wonder what's next?





:D *fiddles with photoshop filters...

[onlooker]

Was I the only one that noticed that at the end of the trailer it said SPECIAL GUEST DIRECTOR QUENTIN TARINTINO :bounce:

[Virum]

Did anyone else notice how the chick that was holding the gun by the dresser suddenly is now wearing a bra? She had been topless in that one 5 minute clip that was posted long before the trailer; I wonder if they changed it in post to avoid an NC17 rating.

Compare screens available upon request. :D ;)

[Aruna]

Excellent trailer. I am extremely impressed with the comic to film adaptation. Congrats Leigh! (Did you move from SA to CafeFX?) If you run across Christina or Dan (both compers), tell them I said hi. I'm not sure if Christina is still there, she may have come back up to the Bay area.

[FUG1T1VE]

Tarantino and Frank are direction portions of the film.

[t-toe]

it looks to me like they reshot it. seems a bit easier than replacing/adjusting things digitally. especially when you're shooting high def.

Oh.. I see. I would have thought filming was done a while ago.

max payne style is much closer to the punisher cover art by timothy bradstreet than sin city to max payne. the amounts of black and the inclusion of colour between the two makes a huge difference.

Yeah I finally made the move over here to the States after working for Cafe remotely for quite a while back in SA :) It's nice here! Christina (fellow red hair dyer!!) left at the end of Sin City, but we do have a Dan in comp... actually we about three of four Dans in comp... which one do you know? :D

[KingMob]

go read sin city..its been around a hell of a lot longer than max payne and is a lot better story wise...

and this movie looks really damn close to those comics.

HUZZAH

[onlooker]

Tarantino and Frank are direction portions of the film.

I know. I didn't mean to leave out Robert Rodriguez, or Frank Miller. I just didn't realize QT was also directing. This should be a really hot movie.

[ambient-whisper]

There is a new trailer up for this now:

http://movies.channel.aol.com/franchise/exclusives/sin_city_movie

Pretty cool :) I love that music!

for anyone wondering who did the music, its a band named "servant". the song there is called cells. thery got a number of really good songs like orchestra ,liquify, etc.
excellent stuff.

link to cd on Amazon here (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0006UDPYC/qid=1110432528/sr=1-4/ref=sr_1_4/002-3645797-1699255?v=glance&s=music)

Heh, I tried to find a PM or email for you, no such luck! :) Dan Bryant's the guy, he was working up here at Tippett on Constantine, and got picked up down there for Sin City. He's on uhm, what's that show now, SharkBoy and AquaGirl?
